O/T football following Rugby : Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:33 am  

just put sky sports news on and it seems they are discussing the sin bin rule for football.

basically talking about sending the player off for 10 mins if they recieve a yellow card, can this work?

a football team can have about 5-7 bookings a game maybe, thats alot of players missing for 10 mins here and there, whereas with rugby the yellow card isnt out half as much.

thoughts??

It might make the game safer, not as many bad foul challenges etc.
It would force teams to clean up their acts.

Good. Maybe the sin bin would keep the whistle from being blown so damn much. A yellow is too hollow and a red is too harsh. There's no middle ground with that game. Rugby has it right.
